We had a fun Christmas Eve!! We go bowling every year with the Dowdles. The kids are all getting older so it makes for some fun bowling watching them.
I am the Queen of Gutter Balls. My girls had higher scores than me. At least I try!?!?
After bowling we head back to Grandpa Dowdles house for dinner and the presentation of the Christmas Story. Aunt Lacey gathers all the kids and they perform, with hand puppets (made by Grandma Dowdle), the story of the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Rylee was pretty excited that she was the Angel and the Star. Good job kiddos, watching these guys is always a favorite tradition of mine.
Then it's time for presents. We draw names with all of Dan's brothers and sisters and their families. Out of 7 Dowdle kids, there are only 3 that still live in Utah. This is a way that the family can be unified at Christmas even though they are scattered all over the country. We all know that somewhere out there all the other Dowdles are opening presents on Christmas Eve too!! We always love the gifts we get. 
Picture time with Grandpa Dowdle. He has 15 grandkids, but only 6 of them live here.
Say "cheese" Green Family-Paul, Mindy (Dan's sister), Nathan, Ben, and Collin
We had a great Christmas Eve! Lots of presents and lots of fun!!
